1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to stuff.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I've never told your production of I Heart Radio. All right,

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: so we're going to time stamp this because this is

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: a very timely subject. I guess today is February two,

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: twenty two or two two. That makes me yesterday February

6
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty two or two twenty two, twenty two and less.

7
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: So you're living elsewhere in the world and then it's

8
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the other day or you main the two to twenty two.

9
00:00:53,479 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I get so confused, Yes, which is still makes it mirror?

10
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: So how you say it? So? And according to the

11
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,279
Speaker 1: world of a numerology and beyond, it is quote once

12
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: in a lifetime date to twenty two twenty two or

13
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty two, however you want to see it.

14
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: And thanks to the dates repeating numbers is considered an

15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: angel number in numerology, or a number bearing a particular

16
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: energy or universal message. So this date is also known

17
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: as a palindrome, meaning same backwards as forwards, because if

18
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: you do either way it if you leave out a

19
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: zero or two, it does this number as well as

20
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: the fact that if you do it. The is a

21
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: UK version in which they do everywhere else to everybody

22
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: else but us twenty two. It flips it as well.

23
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of very superstitious thoughts about this

24
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: mirror date, as I've been told, and y'all have seen

25
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: a lot of videos because social media blew up with

26
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: how significant the state is, and I and fairly superstitious.

27
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, oh, so I know, any

28
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: you're kind of superstitious. Did you do anything for this occasion,

29
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: like making a manifestation or a wish or such. The

30
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: interesting thing about this is I have said it before

31
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I know I've talked about it with

32
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: you before, Samitha. Numbers have meaning for me. I'm really

33
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: into numbers. My mom, when I was a kid, I

34
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: was super into Harry Potter. She got me a numerology book,

35
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: and so I can do like the very basics of

36
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: calculating based on your name and you're the day you

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: were born, like all kinds of things like that. And

38
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: part of it is kind of like I like math,

39
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: uh less than I might believe that this is a thing,

40
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: but I like doing it, and I like I love

41
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: looking into the meaning of names. That's one of my

42
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: very favorite things when I'm writing something especially like I

43
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: like to look into the name. But I thought I

44
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: had already prepared for this date because twenty two is

45
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: my favorite number, and so I didn't know it was

46
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: going to be such a huge deal. But I had

47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: already I had it in my mind that it was

48
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a thing, like I had already prepared, like, oh,

49
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: it's twenty two two to like, I gotta do something

50
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: on this day. And then it became a huge thing.

51
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: So what I did was I watched I basically treated

52
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: it kind of like New Year's with less drinking, but

53
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I watched like sci fi movies about time travel and numbers. Yeah,

54
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: and I stayed up. I made sure to stay up

55
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: until midnight and I did a lot of things and twos.

56
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: That was sort of my day. Yeah. Yeah, because people

57
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: would be like us too too too to Tuesday. Ye,

58
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I know, I missed a couple of tunes and that. Yeah,

59
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: are you superstitious? I thought you were, but maybe you're not.

60
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say I'm not, but I

61
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: think I am. I think I have a lot of

62
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: rituals and traditions, and I think those can get mixed

63
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: up for superstitions or either not mixed up for superstitions

64
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: where they should be. I have a lot of things

65
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: that I feel like I have to do on certain

66
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: dates and certain numbers. I used to have to go

67
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: and get a ticket stub on certain dates just to

68
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: have like an item almost that would put this date

69
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: down in my memory. And I still have them, like

70
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: literally on this bulletin board right here. I have ticket

71
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: stuffs for these dates where I just had to go

72
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: do something on that date and get a ticket stuff. Um.

73
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: So I think like, even though part of me would

74
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: say I'm not superstitious because it's not like I to me,

75
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I think I misunderstand superstition a lot, as in if

76
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't do something, something bad will happen, whereas I'm

77
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of doing it and more of a memoriam type

78
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: of situation. Okay, Um, but I think it's very similar.

79
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: So I think that it's not like I'm expecting things

80
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: to happen when I do something, or that it will

81
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: work like like it's something will come of it. I

82
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: guess it is more of a I have to commemorate

83
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: it and remember it or else tops lost forever. Yeah. Yeah,

84
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: I feel like you also, even though you so you'll

85
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: say superstition, but you have these traditions that if you

86
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: don't do it, you feel like bad things are going

87
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: to happen, right, which is pretty much it. H You're

88
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: totally right, I'm sorry, I love you. I don't mean

89
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: that as a as a as a poke, as more

90
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: of like, do you know I feel like when you

91
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: say you have to do these things and you have

92
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: to eat these things? Yeah? Probably? And I say this

93
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: as I definitely am someone who is very into not

94
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: necessarily traditions, but do believe in some things of like,

95
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: why even tested I don't I don't want to test it.

96
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: If this can bring me good luck, great, If it

97
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: didn't work, what what hurt? Kind of thing? I did

98
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: try to cone in on the last two years and

99
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: more of my Korean traditions and trying to figure out myself,

100
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: my identity a different conversation we know, but also knowing

101
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: that a lot of the Asian cultures are more superstitious

102
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: and steep into that tradition. Of course, again, tradition superstition

103
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of does go hand in hand, intertwined however you

104
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: want to look at it. It's also something about intuition

105
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: and gut feeling, and I am a big proponent to that.

106
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Like when I make big life decisions, I do a

107
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: lot of research, but if I can't make up my mind,

108
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I have to sit still. I literally sit still and

109
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: just think on it and say to myself the options

110
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: and whatever is my calm is usually the direction I

111
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: will go. I am, and it has always worked for

112
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: me and usually the best way. I can't think of

113
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: too many moments where I'm like, I regret that. So

114
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I am a person who does believe in my gut

115
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: feeling and my intuition. And honestly, I was thinking about

116
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: this for a while. You and I have talked about

117
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: it because we talked about you know, New Chinese New

118
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: Year's or all of that in the celebration New Year's,

119
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? We've stopped doing resolutions, even

120
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: though that was a tradition. It got toxic, and so

121
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: we wouldn't take everything toxic out all those things. And

122
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: it turns out for women it's more common than not. Surprise. Um,

123
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: of course we had to go into it, and I

124
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about it because I also wanted to

125
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: talk about what we did specifically. We went through several articles,

126
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: doing some research trying to see if it was a

127
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: gendered thing, and I couldn't really find a lot to

128
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: it because there's no real data about whether or not

129
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: it works or not, so therefore there's no real conversation

130
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: about it. I know on our show, we've had episodes

131
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: about astrology, We've had episodes on tarot cards and how

132
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: it is a lot of times feminist leaning or women

133
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: gendered leaning. And then we also talked about witchcraft, which

134
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: could be part of that whole, like superstition as well.

135
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: That's all up in there and mixed. Again. This could

136
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: be also more cultural than anything else, because I know

137
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: the Irish and Scottish have a lot of and the

138
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Greeks have a lot of specific superstitious beliefs or traditions

139
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: that lean to uh kind of a cultural take on

140
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: things that I'm like, oh, I want to practice that.

141
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: That seems cool. We see that, we see that, whether

142
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: it's with death, whether it's with life in celebration, we

143
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: see these types of superstitions. But I did find one

144
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: article written by Eric Dolan. Yes, I do assume that's

145
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: a man on a sipost dot org, and I wanted

146
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: to read a little bit about it because again I

147
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: found it interesting and it was kind of a gendered study.

148
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: So they write a new study provides evidence that women's

149
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: reliance on intuition and gut feelings helps explain why they

150
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: tend to report more magical beliefs than men do. Magical uh,

151
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: and the research has been published in the Journal of

152
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Research and Personality. So again there's some research, not a lot,

153
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: and it continues. I was really intrigued to understand why

154
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: across the world, women tend to be more likely than

155
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: men to report beliefs and magical phenomenon like ghosts and

156
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: haunted houses, said study author Sarah Ward, Assistant professor of

157
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: Management at the University of Illinois. And Dolan, who was

158
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: writing this article, continues in his writing quote. In four

159
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: studies with two thousand, five forty five participants in total,

160
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: the researchers found that women were more likely than men

161
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: to endorse magical beliefs. Women tended to report relying more

162
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: on intuition and scored lower on a cognitive reflection tests

163
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: and assessment of a person's tendencies to override and incorrect

164
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: gut response, which we're both associated with heightened magical beliefs. Okay,

165
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. When he keeps choosing the term

166
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: magic and magical, it feels a little bit condescending. Um

167
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: his language overall feels stereotypical of women who do trust

168
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: intuition as part of their decision making skills or decision

169
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: making as something of a more frivolous sam maybe perhaps

170
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: naive practice. But Ward, who was doing the study, states,

171
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: although some antiquated stereotypes have portrayed women's higher magical beliefs

172
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: as caused by lower rationality or intelligence, this was not

173
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: supported in the data. Women and men do not differ

174
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: in analytical reasoning capacities or intelligence in these studies, showing

175
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: the inacrecy of these earlier stereotypes for gender differences and

176
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: magical beliefs. So again, I don't know why magical seems

177
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: so childish or magic seems so childish in these references.

178
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. But what she is

179
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: saying essentially is it didn't change anything, It didn't lower

180
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: any standard, it didn't make any difference. And as in fact,

181
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: in the same article they talked about the fact that

182
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: when men witness women using intuition like this and succeed,

183
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: it only endorses more two men that they should be

184
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: following suit and it doesn't really change anything. It doesn't

185
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: really make any difference. There was no data to say

186
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: that intuition was better or not. It was just more

187
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: of a why do women believe more than the other genders?

188
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: Um and I thought it was really interesting in this context,

189
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: especially on days like this, because I'm going to tell

190
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: you I read a hell a lot about the numbers

191
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: h including the fact that I was told in a

192
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: video by a numerologists and astrologists too much like Chinese

193
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: New Year's clean your house the day before to make

194
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: sure you're mirroring the clean clean life. I took out.

195
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: This was not said to do it, but I was like,

196
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't want trash in my house, so I took

197
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: out all the leftovers and all the trash out so

198
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I did not want trash in my life for the

199
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: next However, in long years before we get the next

200
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: mirror year, I cleaned my dog. I know I did

201
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: because I wanted her to be healthy and groomed for

202
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: as long as she could be, and I feel like

203
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: that would reflect as well. My partner and I actually

204
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: got together. So the magic hour, according to some was

205
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: ten to two PM on two to to two. It's

206
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: right because it would make it two to two or

207
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: two to twenty two. However you see it. And we

208
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: said mindfully manifesting our year together loud in our own heads. Yes,

209
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: I did all of that. Dang, I know, I don't

210
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: know why it hit me, and I was like, I

211
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: need to do this. I don't need any any negativity

212
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: because I think are like, the last two years have

213
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: both been good and bad, and we want to usher

214
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: out because when it was when it was bad, it

215
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: was real bad. Yes, so we want to usher that

216
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: out as much as possible. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's just

217
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: super fascinating to me because again I was kind of surprised.

218
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: I guess I shouldn't have been, but as someone who's

219
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: like always thinking about numbers, Oh wow, everybody's doing that

220
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: thing for this, it wasn't just what I perceive as

221
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: my weirdness. So first, I think when we talk about

222
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: women's intuition and women having these superstitions are magic or

223
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Um I as have

224
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: you have. I've watched a lot of horror movies. I

225
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: think that when we say, like women's intuition we should

226
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: be saying women have been living in this world and

227
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: they know what's up, and men are so ready to

228
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: not believe them when they're like, I think something might

229
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: be a miss. So that's one thing where I'm always

230
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: like when I read these things where they're saying women

231
00:14:53,280 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: are more superstitious, I I think, really, it's women I

232
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: had to deal with being in fear when they go outside. Yeah, possibly,

233
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: and therefore they have more quote superstitions, um. On top

234
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: of that. I would be really interested to know if

235
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: there's any breakdown on Like I feel like we like

236
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: to dismiss women's intuition because it's women, but men have

237
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: their like sports jerseys that they wear and they have

238
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: to wear in every game, and I think that that

239
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: scene is something different even than a ruler. We're kind

240
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: of talking about the same thing, but because it's men

241
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: doing it, we're like, yeah, let them, let them do

242
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: their thing and have fun. When it's women, were like, oh,

243
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: she's very silly. Yeah, well, it seems like when it

244
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: comes to uh, men and their superstition. And by the way,

245
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: I've never seen men more angry than sports uh and

246
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: of course being called out for not being whatever. Really

247
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: like we're being told that there being in their mind

248
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: told that they're not mainly enough and or too mainly

249
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Like those are the three reasons that really get super

250
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: angry apparently, But it does feel like when we see

251
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: men doing their sports thing, we as women are like

252
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: dismissive to like like whatever, okay, you do your thing.

253
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: But at the same time, we can't tease it. We

254
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: can't do too much, uh too disrupted and if we

255
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: actually tried to stop it, as in like this seems

256
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: very sitcoming when women accidentally washed their jersey and they

257
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: they are like, oh no, you can't watch the jersey,

258
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: and it becomes a whole thing in a literal argument

259
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: and a plot point, like it's just a whole thing

260
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: and whole level of trying to uh dismiss a woman's

261
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: whatever their belief system is. And on top of that,

262
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: like astrology and all that, I get it. It seems

263
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: very mystical and out there, but there seems to be

264
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: some basis of at least people are studying stars insteady

265
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's some scientific level to that. So perhaps

266
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: it's a little more than just doing a specific end

267
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: zone dance to continue on celebration and made the game

268
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: better or whatever, or rubbing a specific helmet or tapping

269
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: on as if you watched Friday Night Lights, which is

270
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: very problematic, and I still enjoyed it before I realized

271
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: how problematic it was where they tapped the top of

272
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: their little emblemnus as believe or something like that. I

273
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: think that's a ted last out thing. Now there's a

274
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: level of legitimacy of where that stands, but I again

275
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: hold to that might as well. Does it hurt anyone? No?

276
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: What did I sit here in manifest good things in

277
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: my head? I have really hope I did, But it

278
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: was just it was a minute of just sitting still.

279
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong

280
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: with taking these special days or days that for whatever

281
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: reason have meaning to you and taking that moment and

282
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: kind of trying to center yourself and imagine what you

283
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: would like to happen or what would you would like

284
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: to work towards. Because I feel like a lot of

285
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, whether it's kind of on the

286
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: sillier spectrum end quotes, are on a more serious spectrum

287
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: of your life, as opposed to want the sports steam

288
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: to win, which I know is very important to a

289
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: lot of people, so I'm not dismissing that, but like,

290
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's kind of the same thing.

291
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: But I guess that's my My issue with a lot

292
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: of this is that we do, in my opinion, sort

293
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: of legitimize when men do it versus when women do it,

294
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: where it's seen as sort of frivolous and weird and

295
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: and child ish. Like the whole conversation of being magic

296
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: and magical. It seems so childish, which just makes me sad,

297
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: because there's nothing wrong with magic and magical and wishing

298
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: it will existed to a certain extent. As we've seen

299
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: many fantastical movies, magic goes wrong very quickly. However, in

300
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: my mind, yes, like the idea of magic and magical

301
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: is also synonymous with childish and and imagination and all

302
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: of these things, and apparently that's a negative when you're

303
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: an adult, and that makes me sad. Yeah, yeah, and

304
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, just to keep it in my brand. Also,

305
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: I have to say, I feel like a lot of

306
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: men with sports and their superstitions around sports and all

307
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: the things they do with sports and all the numbers

308
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: they memorize with sports nerds do that too. But when

309
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,760
